Presidential Election Thoughts....

The Repubs ain't to be slept on! By picking Palin, a woman and little know governor of alaska, the pubs are pretty much letting the dems know that whatever they don't follow through on the pubs are more than ready to come back and upshow them! the Democratic party made a bad strategic move by picking an all male ticket. If they really wanted unity, and this includes the obama and hillary factions, along with the other lesser known factions in the dem party, they would have and should have picked a woman...and yeah the white woman woulda done! Shit they would have done fine had they picked sebelius as obama's running mate. but i guess she's too much of a feminist! thinking that it's a dirty word, them dems dropped the ball on this one and the repubs were more than happy to pick it up.
i vehemently disagree that black women and other women of color have gained nothing from the white american woman's feminist movement. and i'm dismayed at too many black women liberals, radicals and progressives who have a bone to pick with white women over some historical plantation shit which they chose to air out now and which invariably has all of them fighting over crumbs while black men are consorting with white men- you know- the real power holders in this country. in case you're not clear on this- just look at the subtle frumpification of michele obama over the four days of the convention. not to mention the increased constipated look on her face culminating with her coming on stage wearing a hideous dress with funky ass flats! her man just accepted the democratic party's nomination and she comes out looking like that?!
Y'all betta put down the kool-aid and start asking the right questions.

P.S. watch last night's bill moyer's journal. also watch last nights democracy now! and tavis smiley last nite had some interesting guests with inciteful thoughts.

Go 'Head Hillary!!!!

Now mind yall....I didn't vote for Hillary in the New York Democratic Primary. I was caught up in the "Obama black man" wave and voted for...you guessed it , the black man!
Yet, this evening's speech by Hillary Clinton shows the power this woman wields. And more importantly, isn't afraid to wield! She strutted her stuff on the stage and did what she had to do to push the party on. Now I'm not that naive; I know she played the role she was given. But, she did it with such force and determination. She hit it out of the ball park! I think what I appreciate most about her is that she's a seasoned politician and knows how to play the game to get what she wants, whether it's today or some where down the line in the future. Miss thang ain't giving up a damned thing! She is a powerhouse in the party and will continue to be so. Face it...Obama needs her more than she needs him right about now.
